My Curvy Mate

Ch 1 New Beginnings

*May's POV*

I woke up to the sun shining in the slit of the curtain. I hated being up at 7am just to get ready for the academy and I really hated that I had to go to a school that did not feel right to me. No one was nice to me at school and that made it harder to get up in the morning knowing that. I sighed once more before getting up and avoiding peaking at myself in the mirror. It was a nuisance that the mirror was full bodied, and it just sat in the corner facing the closet to the right of my bed. My mom got me that mirror before she passed away and I had no heart to throw it away considering my parent's names were carved in the back of the mirror. It was one of the only items that was left to me when they passed away. If they only knew that their only daughter felt less of herself, they would have not bought a mirror.

I know that this seems very trivial, but I am extremely sensitive as I made my way to the washroom a tear shed from my eye. I couldn't help but notice that my face was swollen, and it felt like I got bigger than before. I could actually see my double chin this morning, something I tried hard to hide and conceal including trying trendy jade rolling techniques. Since I was five I struggled with body weight and being the biggest girl in my grade it was quite noticeable and that made me an easy target. Bullied for being fat, no one at that time wanted to be friends with me or even get to know me for who I am. For as long as I have known I've been a size 3XL and even though I eat healthy and exercise daily the weight just does not escape me. Since puberty, I feel as if I gained more weight, but the scale tells me I weigh exactly the same. I hate the way I look, and I know just in 10 days it will be my eighteenth birthday and for sure I will not find my mate. As the daughter of two Omega's I will gain my wolf on my eighteenth birthday something I am looking forward to since I was a little girl. I know that my mate whoever he is will not like how I look so for now I will focus on celebrating getting my wolf. Again, I stare in the mirror as I brush my hair and try to put on some concealer to hide my dark circles from crying. I smear on the concealer and rub it underneath my dark circles with my hands. It is already 7:30am at this point I need to hurry up. I heard my phone start to vibrate I am sure it is my best friend Betty Joyce (Betty J for short). She has been my friend since first grade and was there when children started to make fun of me. She has always been strong and my savior. When we were kids she used to beat up any boy who pushed or pulled my hair and called me fat. I always admired her and am grateful for our friendship.

RIIIING RIIING RIIING "What do you want? " I say "Duh I'm downstairs open the damn door, or I will knock it down." Betty J said. I hear a loud knock again at the door and the bell ringing super loudly it's giving me a headache. I sigh again grabbing the side of my temple and start to walk out my room. I race down the stairs in my pajamas and unlock the door. "Damn that took you long enough I am freezing, and I got you coffee" Betty J said while holding her purse, and three cups of coffee in a little brown tray. "Why are there three cups?" I ask. "Well Duh my sister is behind me" She yells "come on Lilly Rae get your ass in this house stop taking pictures of your face" I then turn my head to see Lilly Rae pouting and smiling while angling the phone up and down near my flower garden. Lilly Rae was the sister of my best friend and is only one year younger than Betty Rae and myself. Though we all hang out together I still love when Lilly Rae comes over so she can help me with my outfit and makeup. She takes one more picture of herself by my garden and heads towards the door of my house flashing her sister a fake smile and sticking her tongue out at her. "You are lucky I am holding coffee" Betty J yelled back at her sister.

We all make our way upstairs to my bedroom where Lilly Rae and Betty J jump straight to my bed almost spilling the coffee all over my comforter. "Hey careful!" I yell out "Sorry girl" Both girls reply back. Now it is 7:40am we need to get going or else we will be late. Lilly Rae walks over to my closet hands me black leggings, a black t-shirt bra and matching panties, a low-cut navy shirt, my black windbreaker jacket and a gold heart pendant to wear. Lilly Rae always knows how to style my body even goes shopping with me. If it were up to me, I would wear sweatpants or a long hoodie and hide my legs and stomach. I run to the bathroom change and walk back out facing the mirror I avoided earlier. I did not look half bad I had coverage with the jacket and t-shirt for my stomach and thighs, so they are well hidden. I do not mind the leggings either, but I still would opt for sweatpants if she were not here. Lilly Rae then pulls me onto my chair by my counter and blends in the concealer I placed earlier. "May please for the love of God stop putting on makeup with your hands use the brush or blender I got for you" She glares at me. I just nod back that I was listening. She then adds mascara, blush, and a light pink lip gloss. She ties my hair in a high ponytail and off we go. Once downstairs I put on my converse and grab my backpack at the door. We all walk outside and get into Betty J's BMW. "So, May are you excited about school today?" Lilly Rae asks. "Excited for what?" I reply, "Duh today is picture day and you know I love picture day." Betty J and I smirked then chimed "WE KNOW YOU DO" All of us were laughing. It was evident that Lilly Rae was in love with herself. We always said even if she found her mate she would reject him because she loves herself more. I mean she is beautiful. Lilly Rae had sandy blonde hair with a small nose, gorgeous blue eyes and big voluptuous lips. Her body was curvy in all the right places a small waist and big breasts; all the men in school were in love with her. Her sister Betty J would let nothing happen to her as she protects everyone. As we pull up and park in the lot I start to feel the pit in my stomach again. I hate it here and I hate coming to a school where I am bullied. Betty J cuts the engine and opens her door; "Do not worry May I will protect you, you know your bestie loves you right". I smirk and playfully push her arm, I sigh once more before8am. Time to face this school
